now guess what the obama administration which promised to be the most open and transparent as one can now propose her vision of the freedom of information act rules would allow federal agencies to simply lie to citizens and reporters that are seeking certain records by telling them that they don't exist even if they do now these rules were originally made public in march but after a lot of transparency and civil rights groups raised objections they open to comment submissions in september and the comments definitely came in pay c.l.u. along with citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington and open the government dot org all wrote a letter to the a g o j saying this move will dramatically undermine government integrity by allowing a law designed to provide the public access to government information can be twisted to permit federal law enforcement agencies to actively lie to the american people so what are the chances that the objections can actually get this thing stopped and what does this say about the obama administration so far a very poor record on living up to their pro
